    Think the point I’m making is it was far worse than Pritchard mate. If that’s a yellow then Pritchard certainly isn’t

    Another showcase of what Neil does in case anyone's still wondering, lots of great general play, lovely close control and driving attacks forward, accurate passing and lots of it, superb goal and the most tackles and second most interceptions (after Jobe) for us.

    Top all round performance.

    Oh aye but there’s only two cards and I think Pritchard’s was just about fair enough in my opinion. It was definitely worse. If Pritchard’s was yellow, this was orange :D

    Supposed we are going to have to.getnused to our lads getting kicked up a height.

    Seems to be the latest fad, that kat tackle on Clarke with no time was just nasty

    It's a fair bit better than league one at least, I think most teams want to play football but they just can't handle us. The foul on Clarke was a bad one, would have been beyond frustrating if he'd been injured from it.

    Fortunately his bones seem to be made from the same bone/rubber hybrid as O'Nien's and he tends to shrug them off.

    Imagine bidding £10 million for Jacky man.

    Must feel ****ing stupid when they think about it.

    Rode our luck for much of the first half but much better in the second.

    Hes really clever when he speaks, praises Clarke while mentioning what he did wrong. We are in good hands with him in charge

    They cut through us at will the first half so to come away easy winners in the end shows the spirit of these lads. Ballard was immense, the amount he saved chucking his body in the was unbelievable tonight!

    6 blocks tonight, that was a huge part of how we won today. Goes off for 30 seconds and we concede.

    The one he celebrated first half like he had scored was brilliant.

    The whole team just won't accept defeat
